An eight-time UFC veteran, Riggs began his career in 2001, fighting
as a heavyweight. “Diesel” made the cut to 205 pounds in 2004 and
then to middleweight later that year. The 28-year-old now cycles
between stints at middleweight and welterweight and has won six of
his last seven fights.

His only loss in during that stretch came to Jay Hieron at
Strikeforce “Miami” in 2010. The Elite Performance fighter has won
back-to-back fights, earning stoppage victories over Louis
Taylor at Strikeforce “Challengers 10” and Trent
Thorne at King of the Cage 48, respectively.
